After watching the electric music written by Li Jingfang in the name of He Changying, Guangxu couldn't speak for a long time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the same day, Nie Guilin abandoned Haicheng, Yingkou, and retreated to Liaoyang, and about 1,000 Feng troops in Yulu did not know what to do.

Unexpectedly, these cowards who were greedy for life and afraid of death actually retreated all the way to Shanhaiguan for 500 miles.

Guangxu gritted his teeth with hatred, if it was normal, he would definitely order the arrest of Zhou Zhongsheng and the leading battalion officers.

However, now that the army is tight, Xu Bangdao and Lian Shun are the commanders of the light pole in the Ninghe battalion, and they call every day to cry about poverty, crying that there are no guns and military resources, and that it is difficult to recruit soldiers.

The next step of the Japanese is very likely to go south to Zhili, and these 600 veterans cannot help but be taken seriously by Guangxu.

"Your Majesty, since these six hundred Feng troops can travel thousands of miles back to Shanhaiguan, they are all first-class strong men, and General He said in the telegram that seven or eight out of ten are fast guns in their hands; Equipped with future recruits, the old with the young, the strong with the weak, soon become a crack army. ”

Xu Yongyi's words couldn't help but make Guangxu's eyes light up and ponder.

"Your Majesty, it is difficult for Western guns to arrive for a while, and the guns produced by the Beiyang Ordnance Bureau and the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau are far from being able to supply training troops;"

Weng Tonggong Kankan said: "Xu Bangdao, Lian Shun, brave and good at fighting, delivered these 600 veterans to the Ninghe camp, which is exactly what he obtained; And with these 600 veterans, plus more than 50 sentry chief soldiers handed over by He Changying, and some new recruits, the two strong armies will become a prototype. ”

"Okay, He Changying called to ask for another 1,000 recruits, plus Xu Bangdao, Lian Shun, and Wang Lian's 38th Battalion, Jia Qisheng's 3rd Battalion, and Bai Ji's 2nd Battalion of Banner Soldiers, with these 23 battalions, the defense of Shanhaiguan can be regarded as tied up."

Guangxu's heart suddenly relaxed, with these twenty-three battalions of elite soldiers, plus Nie Shicheng and Tang Renlian's return defense, the strength of the Shanhaiguan area has approached thirty battalions.

Before that, at least Shanhaiguan was safe.

Then at the end of the year, reinforcements from all over the country will flock to Zhili, and the purchased Western arms will also arrive one after another.

In this way, at least the stability of the capital can be guaranteed.

At this time, Guangxu was no longer in the mood to care about Fengtian's life or death, if he wasn't afraid that the people of the world would point to his back and scold, he really wanted to transfer Song Qing and Yiketang Ana nearly 10,000 elite soldiers back to Shanhaiguan.

He just gave orders to Yulu, Changshun, Song Qing, and Yiketanga that they must rely on the tall walls of Fengtian City to resist the attacks of the Japanese; At the same time, he ordered Jilin and Shenyang to step up regimental training and support Fengtian to defend the city.

Dealing with the land of the ancestor Longqi, who was thousands of miles away, Guangxu had to comfort himself, this Fengtian was freezing and dripping into ice, maybe the Japanese army would not necessarily run for two hundred miles to attack Fengtian.

Instead, they chose to spend the winter honestly and wait for next spring.

Anshan Station.

The weather is cold and frozen, and the dripping water turns into ice.

On the post road to Liaoyang, the Second Brigade of the First Heavy Artillery Wing of the Japanese Army was trying to transport nine 105mm howitzers to Fengtian City, which was 200 miles away.

Although the post road was uneven, the hard frozen ground could barely support the heavy gun carriage, making it possible for the artillery to fulfill the order of Commander Youpeng of Shan County No. 15 heavy artillery to arrive in Mukden.

However, its price was that the Japanese soldiers captured along the way, as well as the prisoners in the war, kept dying on the way.

"Whew-"

In the rear post road of the artillery team, in the mountains and forests and snow on the left and right, at least four wolves followed, waiting for their meat.

"Yaga! Get up, pigs, pigs! ”

"Master Jun——, I really can't move——, please spare me, please ——, it-"

A prisoner of the Yuan Ming barracks officer who pushed a gun cart, his original white and fat body, had already become a skeleton from hunger, and he was tired and lying on the dry and hard ice and snow post road, allowing a Japanese army commander to whip back and forth with a horsewhip, lying on the ground and rolling and howling.

But they just don't want to, or more accurately, can't get up.

"Shoot!"

An artillery ensign next to him ordered in a cold voice.

"Bang!"

With the sound of a gunshot, the Ming Jun, who was lying on the ground, was shattered by a shot, and his brains were red, white, and bloody.

"Whew-"

The eye-catching flesh and blood of the post road at the foot of the mountain stimulated the wolves on the mountain to scream, and the voice was full of excitement and warning to the rest of the wolves.

The bodies were dragged to the side of the post road and discarded in the woods.

Don't think about it, it won't be long before it's one of the wolves, with delicious food in their mouths.

On the same day, the headquarters of the Second Heavy Artillery Wing of the Japanese Army and a large brigade also captured the Qing people along the way, drove the Qing soldiers to take prisoners, and transported the heavy artillery to Panjin.

The order given by Youpeng to the artillery wing in Shan County was that it was necessary to arrive at Shanhaiguan within one month, that is, before January 3 of the Western calendar (the sixth day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar).

On the first day, the 3rd Brigade of the Suchen Division of Yamaguchi, which landed at Yingkou, with a total of more than 8,000 troops, had occupied Panjin City without firing a single shot.

And the order given by Youpeng in Shan County to the Third Brigade was that as an advance southward detachment, it would go south along the way, capture Panjin, Jinzhou, and Huludao all the way, and it must arrive at Shanhaiguan before the heavy artillery wing.

On December 5 of the Western calendar, Bai Ji, the guard of the Shanhaiguan Banner Battalion, received a telegram from the Military Affairs Office of the Tongzhou Governor's Office to release the Fengjun into the customs; and ordered Zhou Zhongsheng to lead the troops to the Ninghe camp to accept the whole army.

In the afternoon of the same day, 485 recruits who had been training in the mountains and jungles outside the pass arrived at the temporary barracks.

So far, the strength of the anti-Japanese army has reached 2,000 people, but He Changying was surprised to find that it was extremely difficult to recruit troops nearby at this time.

At the end of the year, the sparsely populated population, and the ferocious rumors of the Japanese army coming from the direction of Liaodong one after another, made many mountain people who were content with the hot kang head of their small homes discouraged.

Even if the salaries and benefits promised by the anti-Japanese army were far away from the treatment of the Qing army, for a whole day, the anti-Japanese army entered Zhuangzi everywhere to propagandize, and there were few responders.

In desperation, He Changying had to send 300 soldiers, divided into more than 20 squads, carrying white flowers and silver, into the densely populated area of Tangshan, a Zhuangzi, a Zhuangzi propaganda conscription.

Then He Changying intended to mix the troops, and this resolution was immediately strongly opposed by the Ao chest officer, and He Changying weighed it again and again, and finally the nearly 500 recruits did not mix with the rest of the troops, but set up an independent mountain battalion.

With Luo Minglei as the battalion commander, after the troops completed the replenishment of the temporary camp, they immediately left Shanhaiguan and exercised in the direction of Huludao.

The rest of the troops were formed with two infantry battalions, a logistics baggage squadron, an engineer platoon, a reconnaissance platoon, a cavalry platoon, a guard platoon, and a small field hospital, barely supporting the shelves of a regiment.

On December 7, Jia Qisheng led the three battalions of the Sheng Army and the Renzi Army into Tangshan.

On the same day, Tang Renlian, the governor of Guangdong, led the three battalions of newly recruited Thunder Army to return to the pass, and met He Changying in the camp of the anti-Japanese army outside the pass, and after Li Jingfang, he hurriedly entered the pass and rushed to Tangshan.

Standing at the intersection of the farewell road, Li Jingfang looked at the three battalions of the Thunder Army in the distance and sighed.

It is said that since the sixth year of Tongzhi (1867) Bao Chao returned to Sichuan to recuperate, the twelve battalions of the horse team were immediately abolished by the imperial court, and the infantry team was successively revoked or resubordinated, and in the second year, the last thunder army under the command of Deng Lou was also revoked, and twenty-six years have passed in a blink of an eye.

The main force of the Hunan army has also become a passing flower.
